PSYCHO (1998)
Sunday, 15 February, 2026

This week Mike, Stephen, Devaughn, and Brian talk about one of cinema’s most head scratching disasters: Gus Van Sant’s near shot for shot remake of Psycho. From head scratching decisions when it came to casting, to the odd insert shots, and bizarre additions to the text like having Norman tug one out when watching Marion undress, everything about this one screams “bad idea.” You know what’s not a bad idea? Listening to our epic sized episode dissecting this one, from exploring the cocaine fueled boardrooms that greenlit the remake, Van Sant flushing any Oscar nomination good will right down the toilet, to the outright hostile response it received on release, we leave no stone unturned.
